OK, does this work? I used it today(first time this winter) to plow my driveway so I could perhaps drive on it next week with my inbound 911

Or maybe I should start a new thread with the title 'Show us your Snow Plow'.

Cool, literally! Love the MX-5 with the top down. My MX-5 is the worst car ever on ice, no weight over the rear wheels.

Thanks! The crazy reliability of that truck paid for our Ferrari. Still can't find any winter photos of my 911. I drive it all year, just don't take pics when it's cold out. Blood is too thin after living down here...T

My 2009 997.2 C2 with its winter boots on. Great daily driver! I love RWD in the snow.

I was out driving in Calgary today, compacted snow/ice on the roads, as scottiemac would well know if he is in town. I was the 'chicken' out in my V60, and I passed a Silver 911 going the opposite way on Old Banff Coach road, not sure of the year/variant, it was not TT/TTS, but I think a 991. I gave him a thumbs-up, but I do not think he saw me. Got a neighbor in Artist View who drives his TT all winter, I will often see him heading out in the morning before the snowploughs come by, a little Black car with a big plum of white powder behind it. I gotta try and get a picture.

Cheers,

RWD worked for Robert Redford in Downhill Racer.

Here's my C4S Cab with my winter wheel set on (Turbo rims with Pirelli Sottozero's). This car is a BEAST all winter with the snows on!





And here's my new winter DD: 2012 Cayenne S (bought it CPO'd 2 months ago to give the 997 a bit of a break this winter )





And for the REAL winter warrior stuff, here are our sleds for cruising around the trails of the North Woods (pulled by the wife's Q7)!
